oak

I just purchased a house in Ironwood Mi the UP, there's a massive tree in the yard that's leaning towards the garage, I was Quoted $3000.00 to remove it but they want to charge me more if I keep the wood to sell or use for my own crafting. This makes me believe it has a lot of value, the to own...

I have 2 young oak trees planted 2 years ago. I was told this year Oak wilt is in the area. Looking at my trees today, both Red Oak and Pin Oak show leaf changes. I am curious if this is what oak wilt looks like or another problem or just normal for time of year. If there is a treatment...

I bought some boards from a local guy that has a small sawmill, he said these were white oak. I know that there is a lot of color overlap between red and white oak, but these look pretty red to me. These were not stacked well at the property where I picked it up and were pretty much open to the...

I have a 3-4 year old oak tree with white mold on the bottom of the trunk. Also has scar on the trunk. What can I do to make it healthy?

We have some property in Galveston County, in an area that is notorious for poor soil. Have an oak tree "trying" to grow, which is encouraging since others planted at the same time simply died. Unfortunately this survivor has a condition seen with other young oaks in this area, poor leafing on...

Anyone know exactly what kind this is? The guy told me oak but when I split it's red so I'm thinking red oak I'm not sure.

I thought this might make an interesting thread... Big Oak tree taken down this morning. I was hoping to make a nice log out of it, but it looks like it's going to be firewood :nofunny:. 395xp 32" bar. 46" stump. This big dude shook the ground pretty good when it hit. It will probably lay...

Located in the Hudson Valley- NY-We have a very large 75+ year oak tree in our front yard. It is dying at the top showing browned or no leaves in certain portions. In addition, a section of the lower bark is coming loose with carpenter ants, smaller ants and eggs living in the dead wet bark. I...

Hello, I'm very new and I registered for a question about a butternut tree, but as long as I am here I would also like someone's opinion on a pin oak tree. The tree seems to be approximately half dead, but it has leaves, not branches just leaves, growing from the trunk between 5 and 10 ft up. If...

Hey all, Looking for some help in my thought process with this tree and deciding mitigation. 65ft Bur Oak, codom split at about 7 ft, centralized column of decay 35%, healthy growth on side closest to lane, declining on opposite side. 50% root coverage from when lane was built 20 yrs...

Hello folks, I have a cottage in southern Wisconsin. We have three mature oaks in the back yard. Earlier in the summer, I noticed very small amounts of very fine sawdust in several areas around the base of each tree. The areas were probably between 2-4 feet off of the ground. I have seen the...

I have an oak tree approximately 100 years old in my front yard, and to say it most accurately, very straggly. Very few branch’s with leaves and I hate to see it go. Any recommendations to help this old beauty along? Thank you! -joe

Right now, I'm pretty amateur at identifying different types of trees and as it is Early Spring here in Northern Michigan, it is hard to identify tree types by their leaves, because there are none.. So I resort to identifying trees by their bark. From what I've seen - to me, this looks like some...

"Another one of these threads" Definitely an oak at my moms house. About 60 yrs old. No before pic or of a leaf. Sorry. Got a little wet from the rain. Had a straight trunk but not a wide or pyramid type canopy. Suburb of NYC near the water.

Hi, I cut down a couple of oaks in my yard recently due to illness. One white and one red. The white one (first 3 photos below) was alive but struggling. After dropping it, it became apparent hat it has a white fungus beneath the bark in one spot and on the outside of the bark as well. The...

Tree by nawlins posted Mar 12, 2019 at 1:55 PMI recently bought a house in New Orleans, LA where the back yard slopes down to a mature oak tree. When it rains (which it does here a lot) it creates a mini lake around the base of the tree (see photo). It usually takes 4-5 days for the water to...

Help identifying this type of oak? I can't find a definitive answer.(tho.they are all around where I live in the norcal foothills) some say live oak, some say white oak, some say blue oak. The are characterized by an almost.white bark, and small spare leaves that are a pale Mint or even...

Greetings - I joined this forum to ask this question of experienced tree people. This is a 50+ year old tree, probably 30-40' tall with an enormous canopy - probably 50'-60' in diameter. A big beautiful tree that has had this problem for the past 1.5 years. The cork has never been harvested, so...

My arborist recommended that we get our Oak trees trimmed. We have some new growth on the trunks that he says is dangerous to the tree and will prevent water and nutrients from reaching the canopy. Is that something that needs to be done. Can I prune those off myself? Do I only have to worry...
